Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

We are at the busy season of camps, PTOs, line up arguments, and all the fun that comes with a pre-season. Now with the added bonus of a whole new leagues draft happening!

Yesterday afternoon, and for a six team league it was all afternoon..., the PWHL held it's first draft, and Toronto's pick was Jocelyne Larocque! A Canadian national team defender.
